Trane XL80 blows fuse

BluMagoo · 11-12-2012, 12:17 AM

I have a Trane XL80 furnace. It was intermitantly working for a week or so. The burner would come on then go out after a few seconds and so on. Then it just started working again. Now the furnace has stopped all together. I found that the 5 amp fuse on the board was blown. I replaced it did a couple tests. I turned the power on with the heat turned off on the thermostat. The red light on the board started blinking steady again. I turned the fan on and the fan came on fine. Then I turned the heat on and the fuse blew. I don't see any damaged wires or anything. What could be wrong?
